The Jawa Report: The Pustule “Bluto” Leaks Sebaceous Matter
.
In Glenn’s world, no towers have ever fallen. The thousands of dead are merely hypothetical. The War on Bush takes precedence over everything else.Greenwald conveniently ignores the cold fact that spectacular terrorist attacks are not only possible, but have actually taken place…
Look, you piece of excrement, Glenn Greenwald was living and working in NYC on 9/11. Without disclosing any of his feelings told to me privately about his reaction to that event, I will say they were those of 95% of Americans and Manhattanites. In sum, it was as horrifying for him as it was for Americans in general, most particularly, for those in the Big Apple. He does know the Twin Towers fell. You. Are. A. Prick.
The Revolting Creature called Bluto goes on to spew that Greenwald does not really care about the Constitution or the rule of law when he writes posts such as the one today, and Bluto denounces:
…petulant partisan prima donnas who are eager to sell out their own country for thirty pieces of silver or temporary political advantage. People like Glenn Greenwald.
Bluto may be interested to know that well before 9/11, Greenwald held, as I do, a passionate, almost religious devotion to the Bill of Rights and the whole Constitution. That would explain why he has said (in private and public) that he identifies with Justice Hugo Black as a free speech absolutist, why he writes posts about the noxious fruits of hate speech laws, and why he defended this Malignant Thing in a few civil cases when govt sought to punish the MT in civil court based on his political views (before MT was convicted on criminal charges) — Greenwald did that knowing fully well that as a gay Jewish man, Greenwald is a “sub-human rat” and a “pervert” by MT’s lights.
.
Further, Greenwald adamantly opposes the so-called War on Drugs, and is as interested as I am in learning which enumerated power of Congress in the Constitution allows the federal government to police what the citizens of the several states may inhale, inject or ingest.
.
Many of us — and most certainly Glenn Greenwald — passionately oppose a slide into authoritarianism and the Executive-cum-monarch branch, a trip that the Bush Administration has sent into hyper-warp speed. We love our country — or more accurately, the bedrock values on which it is founded — and without patriots in other eras such as Greenwald, all the Marines at Iwo Jima or elsewhere could not have preserved American liberty, because it would not exist to preserve. For you see, the fear-mongering, authoritarian Blutos of every era have had to be repelled by those true patriots — such as Greenwald and the writers at this blog and elsewhere — who love liberty.

OK, so Greenwald’s a Nazi. So what? All liberals are.

Take heart, Mona, in knowing that it isn’t 2002 anymore, and such disreputable bleatings as Bluto’s generate little more than eye-rolling among most Americans these days.

Commenters 1-4: As usual, the authoritarians have nothing of substance to say. Their script doesn’t direct for rebutting a lived devotion to the Constitution and liberty such as Greenwald has evinced. Cheap ad hominems, therefore, must do.

I know, I know. But when 9/11 happened, I was frantic about Greenwald and some of my other friends in NYC (one had just quit as a sous chef at Windows on the World, another a boyfriend I had broken up with amicably who lived two blocks from Ground Zero). There was no way to get through to any of them for something like a week.
This idea that the warmongering, authoritarian GOP “patriots” own 9/11 makes me furious. THEY DO NOT.

“Authoritarian”? You’re too kind to ‘em all. You think they’d settle for Singapore? Heck, they’d view Lee Kuan Yew and Lee Hsien Loong as UNSERIOUS wimps.

Mona,
It’s good to see someone speaking the plain, unvarnished truth, without histrionics, and without backing away an inch.
These scum don’t own America; they don’t care about America; they don’t even know what America stands for. We should never miss an opportunity to tell them so.
Bravo!

Mona,
Thanks for taking this guy down. I think I remember a previous exchange between a Bluto and Glenn. All I can remember thinking was that Glenn wasn’t going to need any spinach to put the guy away.
I think we’re going to see quite a bit of vitriol in the next few months, as the tide begins to turn even more on the neocons. When the public realizes PAA has expired and we have not been overrun, they will begin to realize the just how cynical the neocons have been in using fear to achieve their authoritarian goals.
Keep battling!

And by the way, the sock puppet charge that authoritarians make against Greenwald is bogus.

Yes, but even if it were true, that would not in any way impact on the analysis he brings to his posts, which is rather uniquely intelligent and sometimes definitive. He could be a crack addict (he’s not), and his posts would still stand on their own merit.
So, one can understand why after almost two years since the accusation erupted, Greenwald’s critics still have to rely on this sock-puppet thingie. They are not in his intellectual ballpark and so have nothing much else left to work with.

Based on the post I just read, were that confrontation to take place, seems like Glenn could have scored a knock-out blow on the first punch. Bluto takes no prizes for erudition; probably not much on native intellect or balls either. Does anyone know if the genetic fairy endowed him/her with good looks?

Once again, the War Party attack turns out to be projection. People who took the threat of terrorism seriously wouldn’t want resources wasted surveilling and harassing innocent people; people who recognized the basic facts of propaganda (in the broad sense) would aim for routine demonstrations that law matters, rather than excusing all the crimes of their favorites; people who took war seriously would want troops properly equipped and trained and their missions planned with care, competence, and true information; and on and on. All the sins of unseriousness they try to dump on (in this case) Glenn are their own.
It’s gotten so I count on this. Time after time, it turns out that you can take a rant, look at its foundations, and say, “This is what’s going on in the mind of the ranter.”

Don’t get made, Mona. Get even. At the polls. Political power is everything to these people, and taking it away is the only thing they understand.

Worth pointing out: when “Bluto” writes about protecting American lives and property, rather than the ideals embedded in the constitution, he forgets that the United States exists because of the millions of past Americans, from the revolution to World War II, who did gave their lives to preserve the ideal of equality, freedom, and government under law. Let me affirm Greenwald’s revolutionary notion that US policy should not treat the people as a mass of bed-wetting poltroons, eager to sell their ideals to keep their skins whole.
